---> Full explanation inside ---> PLS CORRECT MY EXPLANATION IF WRONG This project dissects the "Distance to (dropdown)" block and demonstrates how it works. The orange number is the distance from my script and the blue one is from Scratch's built-in block (they should always be the same). The distance between points on a graph is always the hypotenuse (slanted side) of a right triangle (Unless the change in one of the values is 0). Therefore we can calculate distance with the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). This function can be very helpful in calculating distances in scrolling games where objects and positions are often beyond the Scratch screen and where the "Distance to (dropdown)" block is useless. ---> Credits: - Pythagoras (old greek math guy) - griffpatch Text Engine Wanna know something cool? This function gets used in my upcoming game.
